It will be available late October.

It will be available late October.


Tell me what's cooking inside for the 2004 Passport to World Band
Radio? If there is improvement and new updates on the publication, I
will place an order. But if there is no improvement or no changes on
the publication, Larry Magne of Passport to World Band Radio can keep
his book and I will keep my dollar on my pocket.

Andre

I agree Andre, The 2003 edition was at least three years out of date
for many of the listings. For example, Radio exterior de Espana has
not broadcast on 9055 for at least three years, also they paired back
to one broadcast in English a day rather than three as listed. Many
of the BBC broadcasts, DW and Radio France schedules are no longer in
effect just to name a few, and these are the majors. I would hate to
venture a guess how out of date the others are.

Waiting till it gets to the book store and check out some known
broadcasts before I'll purchase again.

In my mind they are not doing their home work.

If you are referring to 6055, as far as I recall they were using that frequency as late as this past Spring.
That is one of their traditional Winter season frequencies. We'll have to see what the upcoming season
brings at the end of this month.

There is no way a book of that caliber is going to be very accuurate. The
lead time to press is way to long. If you want accurate frequenceis, ILG or
the equivelent is the way to go. The books value lies in its articles, not
the station listings.

I think it actually comes out in late October. But several places are
accepting "pre-publication" orders.

Art,

Larry Magne is not only selling his book in the United States of
America alone but to the rest of the world, he should consider if he
makes a price increase it affects prices in other world currencies,
especially in third world countries like South America, Africa and
Asia. They will find difficult to purchase that book in their own
money currencies. They have to purchase more U.S. dollar to import
that book even it is a used or old copies.
So I will not place an advanced order of the 2004 edition of
Passport to World Band Radio book without examining first the
contents, especially with the price increase to $22.95. I rather just
wait for the bargain sale.
